Aside from a general warning about whirled peas and maybe using the report button a little more often boys and girls, I'd like to repeat Jack Skeleton's advice on the whole seasonal eating thing. Food is less expensive when it doesn't have to come from another continent.

Farmers' markets really can be a huge help to the budget if you have some idea of produce prices in regular stores. For bonus cheapness, go late in the day. If your farmers' market is like mine and sets up in a temporary location, the sellers probably don't want to cart off a lot of produce that will rot before the next market starts up. They usually give half off highly perishable stuff like tomatoes, strawberries, etc. right before they close down.

Don't do that every week. You'll get much better variety going early, but if you need a big batch of something it's worth delaying and hoping there's some left.

I'm new to cooking and a dumb babby :(. I am interested in learning how to make soup. How do I make stock from bones? Any good, easy recipes? Winter's coming and there's nothing like a bowl of hot soup on a cold day.

Try out the General Questions thread, Mr. or Ms. Porcupine.
